What if healing begins in the places we can’t see?

In this soulful conversation, Sara sits down with classical homeopath and founder of Alexis Smart Flower Remedies, Alexis Smart, to explore the quiet power of flowers and the way true healing unfolds from the inside out. Together, they trace how vibrational medicine meets the places we can’t see - guilt and unworthiness, disconnection from intuition, shock and trauma - and how simple, tender rituals can reopen the path back to ourselves. From choosing the one remedy you need right now to recognizing the moment a remedy’s work is complete, Alexis shares the philosophy of Dr. Bach, the wisdom of listening to your body, and what it really looks like to build a heart-led business rooted in integrity, patience, and trust.

Expect to learn how flower remedies are made and why they work on an energetic level, the three core emotional themes Alexis sees most often - and the specific flowers that help, why “day 21” matters and how to spot a true healing shift, how to pick your starting formula when you feel like you need everything, what to do when “nothing happens” (and why foundational blends can be vital), gentle signs that a remedy has finished its work, ways to strengthen intuition in daily life, how sensitivity is a gift - and how to protect your energy, the dance between homeopathy and flower remedies (and when to use each), and the essential lessons the flowers offer on grief, self-doubt, and remembering what we already know.
